Advancing and copying the state

The state observation is given to the agent, as an object of the class StateObservation, as a tool to query the game state, and therefore have some information to decide the next action to take. It also includes a Forward Model that allows the agent to advance the game state (by simulating that an action is taken) and copy it. These are the two methods that allow this:

Forward Model functions	Description
void advance(Types.ACTIONS action)	Advances the state using the action passed as the move of the agent. It updates all entities in the game. It modifies the object 'this' to represent the next state after the action has been executed and all entities have moved. Note: stochastic events will not be necessarily the same as in the real game.
StateObservation copy()	Returns an exact copy of the state observation object.
